José Fermín

Swipes bag in loss

Fermin went 1-for-4 with two RBI and a stolen base in Sunday's 10-4 loss to the Mariners.

Analysis

Fermin has seen minimal playing time since he was recalled from Triple-A Memphis on Aug. 21 to replace Nolan Gorman. Over eight games since that date, Fermin has gone 3-for-15 (.200) with three walks, and his two-run single Sunday was the first time he plated a run in the majors all season. The infielder has a poor .148/.246/.197 slash line with no home runs, two stolen bases, six runs scored, a double and a triple over 69 plate appearances. He's got a short-term path to playing time at second base as long as Brendan Donovan (foot) is out.
